Armor that you equip that makes you look like an angel, demon, or gives you partial camouflage that works best in certain environments.
Seriously.
You have to admit that it would be effing sweet to find a rare armor or set piece that not only gives you attributes that an angel might have, but actually gives you some florescent wings similar to what Tyrial has. I'm sure there are many variations to this idea.
I figure there are so many cool armors they could come up with. In this enhanced 3D environment, who's to say some cool looking camouflage armor wouldn't be a great find. I'm not saying for it to make you invisible against everything but maybe exclusively against dungeon rock walls or a forest of trees.
idk
I bet a lot of you could come up with even more realistic ideas. I'd love to read what your thoughts are.
I don't know what u mean by realistic coz i find ur ideas really cool.:cool:
What I would want to add though is that change in appearance must be something that can be turned off/on.
Its cool at first. I remember when i gathered the trang-oul's set, my necro became that vampire/ghoul lord thing. I though it looked great. After some time though I just thought- why would I want to continue appearing like a bald red-eyed old hag, looking like she might trip over her dress if she didn't float?
Its a given- Tyrael wings and the old hag-vampire are world apart in coolness but i don't wanna get stuck in an appearance/form as long as i have to use an armor/weapon type.
*will try to find a few 'cool' ideas later. Imagination is still asleep this morning*
I think it'd be neat if some uniques had occasional effects, like some electricity arcing off the armor on occasion, but not a constant thing like what we saw on the weapons in the first video released(but keep the weapons effects as they were in the video). I like the idea of the wings, but they would need to be fairly translucent so they didn't get too annoying. I'd rather avoid things that change your character completely, but adding little effects here and there is cool if they're used springly.
^Dude, u were in one hell of a posting frenzy just a while back.
Anyway, stoaster just mentioned a really cool idea. (Its like a supersaiyan from DBZ.)
I know we are talking about armor here, but i thought of a set constituting only of armor pieces. And when u gather all of them, ur weapon kinda morphs into a super cool one. Not only looks, the set could give ur weapon added bonuses like D2 sets.
If u are carrying bow, or dagger or sword, wand or any weapon...it just transforms once u completed the set...
Ya i know...ppl will be like... it will take lots of time to do that shit to all weapon types...etc..etc..etc..
But it was just an idea...not like am forcing blizz to do it:P
It could be quite cool, but it shouldn't change you all too much - after 1 year or so of the games release you will probably not be the only one running around looking like a piece of wood / dungeon wall. Ruins diversity if the changes are much to apparent.
In an earlier post (like 1 yr ago) I aired the idea of runes/gems or a combination of them giving off special effects when placed in the armour. Topaz(if in final game) would yield a soft yellow glow on armour and maybe a more sharp glow on weapons. Whilst socketing certain helmets with a Ruby(if in final game) would give the bearer red eyes. I've also stated that I like the idea of turning the effects on and off. Awesome.
I absolutely agree. Id want this to be incredibly rare, and I'm sure no one would want the visual effects to interfere with game play. I came up with some similar ideas a while back regarding the runes and gems being socketed into items. A skull socketed into an item to alter the appearance of an item a bit, adding maybe teeth and bones throughout the item. This adds to the personalization of your items with out actually creating a specialized personalization software.

actually a weapon tranforming when you complete the set is an awesome idea. I think it could/should glow and look all bad ass and stuff
coul be nice if the effects are not seen all the time... i'm thinking something like a reflection so you see the wings (for example) at certain ligh angles and such...
this is very basic, but the idea of having an elemental absorb, maybe there could be a subtle animation of the elemental absorbption taking place on the armor.
hmm that might be too much, idk
It's a good idea... however, those items must change very little...
The ones that changes more, like angel wings, should be very very very difficult to find.
no no no. no shape shifting. Just armor that has florescent wings attached to it that have attributes themselves to them. And obviously nothing too overwhelming, it has to look cool with out being a bother.
I don't like SUPER rare items. 1/300,000 is way too rare. That means only 10-20 people would ever get it. I like rare items so that not everybody has the same gear but at the same time I think any gear should be reasonably possible to obtain.

I totally agree with you scyberdragon, I like the randomness of rare items and if they could make it so that some rare items can become better than some unique items... that would be cool.
mmmm Maybe cool, but won't happen, sorry !! stop dreaming...
it will be cool only for the one who will get it. And I don't think an exageration are cool, (yes angel wings are "exageration") Blizzard said they want realistic items not like wow !! play wow maybe you'll find the armor of your dream !
Really not cool for me... it's just a young caprice and an eye candy, it bring nothing.
And for items "ultra rare"
Perhaps 1/300,000 people have one.
I disagree at 100%, I buy a game, so I want a chance to get any content of the game...

It would have to be ridiculously rare.
Perhaps 1/300,000 people have one.
When I see a person with it I would want to crap my pants, and be like OMFGGGGGG DUUUUUUDE HOW DID YOU GET THAT?????
